Free Bonavita Brewer & Google+ Hangout

Written by Kirk on Feb 3rd, 2012

Congrats to Nick DiMedio, Winner of our Bonavita Giveaway.

For anyone who likes free stuff...

~ Update: This Contest Has Ended, Congrats to Our Winner Nick DiMedio! ~

No catch involved. We love to give away great coffee equipment and are excited about giving someone the new Stainless Bonavita Auto Brewer (normally sold for $149). For more info on the brewer, check out the product listing or the blog post we wrote on adjusting the temperature.

How do you enter the contest? It's pretty easy, just add us (Prima Coffee Equipment) to one of your circles on Google+ (preferably a coffee related one, but we also like good music and food). If we can get 700 people to add us by Monday, February 20th, we will randomly choose one of those people to receive a free Bonavita Brewer. In fact, if we make it over 700 faster than we thought, we may just up the ante with a bigger and better prize after we have sent out the Bonavita... but we'll see about that.

Don't have a google+ account? No problem! Just go here to make one and then make sure to add us to your circles once you have made one (the accounts are free too!).

Contest Details

  1. Create or login to your google+ account.
  2. Add Prima Coffee Equipment to one of your circles.
  3. Wait with nervous anticipation.
  4. Monitor us on google+, twitter, and facebook to see the winner announced once we have reached our goal of 700.
  5. Add Matt Galyon and Lee Sill to your circles while waiting (this is NOT a required step).

Starting on Friday: Google Coffee Brewing Hangouts

One of the things we are excited about with Google+ is the Hangouts feature. While videos have been gaining popularity for products and demonstrating brewing methods, conversation is generally limited to the comments below the post where the video is found. Google Hangouts changes this because it will allow a brewing demonstration to be performed live, while allowing questions, ideas, comments, and suggestions right there at the moment of brewing.

Therefore, we are going to begin using Hangouts for brewing demonstrations and even potentially releasing news of new products. Want to get in on it? Join us this Friday (February 10) at 2-3pm EST for our first one. Matt & Lee will be going over home brewing basics and highlighting the Stainless Bonavita Automatic Machine we are giving away in this contest. Our goal is to keep these Hangouts short and sweet so you enjoy showing up and watching, but don't necessarily have to interact and you won't have to give up your afternoon to watch it.

In any case, feel free to use the buttons on the left side of your screen to tweet, post, and mention this contest (and Friday's hangout) to your friends so there is a better chance of making our 700 goal.

Hope you win!

* No purchase necessary, past employees and relatives of people employed at Prima Coffee Equipment are not eligible to win, winner must have a shipping address inside the 48 contigous states. Winner must contact us within 24 hours of the announcement to claim the Bonavita Brewer.

  • Hario Mini Mill MSS-1B Coffee Grinder
    MSS-1B
    $31.95

    Hario Skerton grinder is handy for manual home and travel grinding, it can also be slightly more cumbersome for an extended road trip where only a small amount of grinding will be done (for a more detailed comparison of the two grinders, check out this blog post: Hario Skerton vs. Mini Mill). For those trips (or homes) where a minimal amount of grinding is needed, the Hario Mini Mill Slim is the perfect grinding solution. The Mini Mill employs adjustable conical ceramic burrs for grinding any of the wide range of grinds employed in today’s coffee market. It can effortlessly handle 24 grams of anything from fine espresso to a coarse French Press setting. Because of its lightweight (0.5 lbs) and sleek plastic body, the Mini Mill easily fits into small carrying bags and suitcases without adding a lot of extra weight. This, in conjunction with the Aerobie AeroPress coffee maker, has the propensity to make excellent coffee anywhere hot water and fresh beans are available.

    The Hario Mini Mill is a traveling coffee enthusiast’s dream come true.... and with its ability to grind to the fine quality needed for espresso, it can be paired with a hand-held travel espresso maker such as the mypressi TWIST (and an excellent choice of beans) to achieve a quality rivaling the product found in many high-end espresso machines. Whether the need is grinding beans for a french press, Aeropress, or mypressi, the Mini Mill Slim is the perfect travel solution.

  • Mahlkonig Pro M Grinder
    Pro M
    $1,200.00

    One of the top coffee grinder manufacturers has just released one of the most versatile grinders to date. With the capability of grinding from French press to espresso, the Mahlkonig Pro M provides the grinding range that would normally require two separate grinders. The grinding range combined with features like the "hands free" operation and break functionality help make this grinder ideal for both low-medium volume commercial settings and home use.

  • Hario VKB-120HSV
    VKB-120HSV
    $53.00
    Hario's stainless steel water kettle, the V60 Buono, has been spotted popping up in coffee houses and the kitchens of baristas for some time now. A detailed search on the web will reveal, for the moment at least, that the Buono seems to be widely accepted as the most useful pouring kettle available. What makes this kettle so popular amongst pour-over enthusiasts? Several reasons stand out.

    First, the thin pouring spout enables greater pouring precision as well as a slower, more consistent and controlled rate of pour, both of which are very helpful in achieving a precise, prolonged extraction.
    Second, the stainless steel construction and large 1 liter capacity contribute toward keeping up the brew temperature for the duration of the entire brew cycle.
    Third, the ergonomics involved in the design of the kettle help to make using it much easier. This may not seem like much, but if you're brewing large batches of coffee and pouring for three or more minutes per batch, doing several batches of coffee will quickly become a chore if your kettle doesn't cooperate with you.

    Combine all of these facets with the fact that the Buono is manufactured by Hario, a very popular name in the coffee-brewing community, and the kettle's popularity is easily understood. For best results, combine the Buono with a V60 Dripper or Chemex to get a truly exceptional cup of coffee.
